putrevus Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 This guy was giving fits and nobody could read his bowling on the flattest track in karachi, here in this test match can they survive for 2 full days against this guy. I just saw replays of all his wickets except Viru who was out stumped was a rash stroke, otherwise no other batsman had any clue where the heck was ball going. Link to comment
Kumar Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Hopefully no! anyway murali will also be quite the threat Link to comment
Chaos Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 yea he will take all 20 wickets but india will still win by innings ;) Link to comment

I just saw replays of all his wickets except Viru who was out stumped was a rash stroke, otherwise no other batsman had any clue where the heck was ball going. i feel the only way to play him is to be aggressive and not let him settle down at all- also i think treating him like a medium pacer might be a good tactic but ur right its scary thinkin of what he might do, although having said that hes bowling vs the top 5 batsmen against spin in the world so ....

umpire Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Sachin's track record suggests he will not succeed against him for atleast inning or two. He wil eventualy figure him out and help his mates to figure this guy out. Link to comment
satishg Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 guys this is his debut test match..so please lets all wait and see wat he has to offer before creating such a hype..he is a gud prospect but no one deserves this kinda hype..just remember Shaun Tait Link to comment

King Tendulkar Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Mendis looks very average. What was all the fuss about. He aint gonna run through our stellar line up. Not another classic case of confusing limited overs cricket with the REAL deal of TEST CRICKET is it? Link to comment
Parth Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 More experienced layers like Dravid, Tendulkar, Ganguly and Laxman will play him better than Raina, Dhoni, Yuvi Link to comment

Not another classic case of confusing limited overs cricket with the REAL deal of TEST CRICKET is it? He gets Dravid of all people. 17 wickets to go. Link to comment
Holysmoke Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Dravid looked like a bunny in the headlights after that ball.... He was looking around wondering wtf just happenned! Link to comment
